Explication

"I was talking to one of my donors a few days ago who was complaining about how memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly." (Page 286)

       While wondering which literary term to squeeze in at the end, I decided on explication. I have been using it this entire time to interpret this book! It's so obvious. I don't know if I will finish this on time, but please forgive me. Overall, I enjoyed the story, but I was so confused throughout. What the heck was going on with the clones.  I really didn't know anything coming into the story, and I had to utilize my skills of explication to decipher this lifestyle that was so contrary to my own. I was happy for those three characters who plagued my thoughts throughout the book, but I am glad to be rid of them. Amen! Allelujah!!!

  1. Aside from only having 19 entries, they were thoughtful and on-target as far as analysis goes. Good luck as you work through Brave New World.
